Welcome to Code Completion! We are a group of iOS developers and educators hoping to share what we love most about development, Apple technology, and completing your code! Today, we discuss:
• Indie App Spotlight, with three apps for you to check out:
• The relevance of Objective-C for new and existing developers
• The complexity of Swift
• SwiftUI vs UIKit
Also, join us for #CompleteTheCode and Compiler Error, two segments that test both your knowledge and our knowledge on Swift, Apple, and all things development!

Also check out our #IndieAppSpotlight! We have three apps for you to check out this week:

This week's Compiler Error has a theme: Objective-C ARC!
1 - Much like Swift, ARC can be configured to operate on CoreFoundation types in Objective-C code using the option -f-objc-arc-cftypes at compile time.
2 - Automatic Reference Counting was originally called Automatic Retain Release, abbreviated as ARR, and was ultimately changed to ARC before release.
3 - Unlike with ARC, Objective-C Garbage Collection required users to implement -finalize rather than -dealloc for object cleanup.
4 - Although they were introduced with ARC, @autoreleasepool blocks can also be used in code where ARC is disabled since it offers a performance improvement.

Your hosts for this week: Spencer Curtis, Fernando Olivares, Ben Gohlke and Dimitri Bouniol. Follow us @CodeCompletion on twitter, and individually at @FromJrToSr, @SpencerCCurtis, @FerrousGuy, and @DimitriBouniol.
You are what makes this show possible, so please be sure to share this with your friends and family who are also interested in any part of the App Development process.
